Q: “What can I do with my anabolic steroid cycle planning to help protect my liver?” A: First, liver harm from anabolic steroids comes principally or entirely from alkylated anabolic steroids. Where the steroids are non-alkylated and estradiol levels remain normal, there’s almost never harm to the liver from steroid use. (A handful of apparent […]
Best Blood Tests for Evaluating Liver Function During Anabolic Steroid Use
Q: “What blood test values are the most useful for evaluating liver function during anabolic steroid cycles?” A: While AST and ALT often get the most attention, three other values are much more useful for evaluating liver function in anabolic steroid cycles. GGT is present in liver cells and is released into the blood when […]
Anabolic Steroids, Liver Function and AST and ALT Blood Test
Q: “How do I evaluate the AST and ALT values of my blood test? I wanted to have before-cycle values, but waited till the last minute to order a test online. By the time I actually did the test, I was a week into my cycle. I’m using testosterone 500 mg/week plus Dianabol 50 mg/day […]
Anabolic Steroids and Proper Estrogen Control for Maximizing Fat Loss
Q: “I’ve found a lot of information referring to cutting steroids and cutting cycles and it’s really not clear to me what I need to do. Are there particular anabolic steroids that I really need to include if I’m cutting, or any that I particularly need to avoid?” A: I haven’t found any great difference in […]
The Use of a Single Anabolic Steroid for “Enhanced” Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Q: “I want to use the minimum number of drugs for an “enhanced” hormone replacement therapy (HRT) protocol. I’d prefer really to use only one drug. I could use testosterone, but if I do that, then I can’t use very much without putting my estradiol higher than I want to. Letrozole won’t work for me, […]
The Use of Insulin Without Getting Fat During a “Cutting” Steroid Cycle
Q: “I’ve tried insulin use on and off and though I think it helped my muscle gain in steroid cycles, it also got me fat. How might I use insulin when doing a cutting cycle, or even harder, a body-recomposition cycle?” A: One of the most interesting and creative ergogenic ideas ever published, I think, […]
The Long-Term Use of Melanotan II for Tanning
Q: “I’ve found a fair bit of information on short-term use of Melanotan II (MT-II) but nothing on long-term use. I’ve never been able to stay out in the sun as long as I’d like, and have never been able to get a really good tan. But I’m not interested in a temporary fix. How […]
Stacking Deca Durabolin With Peptides TB-500 and/or GHRP-6 to Promote Healing
Q: “I’m planning to use TB-500 and/or GHRP-6 in a cycle which I hope will heal some of my injuries. Ideally would I do this only as a peptide cycle, or would I include one or more anabolic steroids?” A: As much as I’m generally not a fan of nandrolone (Deca Durabolin) because of frequently seen […]
The Stacking of CJC-1295 and GHRP Peptides to Stimulate Growth Hormone Release
Q: “If using peptides instead of hGH, can I combine a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) like CJC-1295 with a GHRP? When might it be better to use just the GHRP, versus using the combination?” A: Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) is a natural hormone which works synergistically with ghrelin to stimulate pulses of GH […]
The Stacking of TB-500 with GHRP-6 or hGH for a Healing Cycle
Q: “For a healing cycle, can I combine TB-500 with GHRP-6, or with hGH? Can I just use the same doses of each as I normally would, or should doses be reduced because they are being combined? And can I use anabolic steroids concurrently with TB-500?” A: Absolutely TB-500 can be combined with GHRP-6 or GH. […]
